here 2 help
I go thru that now and my best advice to you is to continue to ignore it!! Yeah it does hurt. I go thru it so much now, I just snap when I get fed up with it, but it'll be okay after a while. Besides, it shouldn't matter what they think, they ain't gotta live with your body, you do and as long as you like it that's all that matters. And as long as your boyfriend (if you have one) isn't complaining, (he shouldn't be) cuz mine likes my size just fine!!

I totally understand
Hey I so totally know how you feel. My whole family is really skinny. I hate it when people think ur anorexic. Well I will tell you one thing just ignore them, they don't know who you are, how you eat, or how your family is as long as you know that you aren't what they think you are. It's all gonna be good. I mean, would you rather be large or small? Just be yourself and that's what really matters!

I used to get that all the time. I just ignored most people who would talk about my being so skinny. I wouldn't eat at school, because the food was just as bad as not eating, but outside of school I could put away as much as the football players. The people that really matter know you're not anorexic, and you know you're not. That's what matters the most.
I think your teacher, if she was asking publically, was a little rude. But if she was asking you privately, she may just be worried. Tell her that your family is naturally skinny. There's nothing wrong with being naturally skinny; same as there's nothing wrong with being naturally big. As long as your weight is healthy for your size, then you'll be fine.

Why do they care?
The first thing that went across my mind when I read this was why are those people keeping themselves busy by worring about others? Is their life so boring that they have to bug you? Just be yourself and don't let their thoughts enter your mind!

Be Frank
It doesn't matter if it's your teacher or your peers. Be frank and let them know what's up. Tell them, "I'm obviously not fat. So, it should be obvious what I think of myself. Please don't ask me senseless questions."
Let your teacher know, after class, that you don't appreciate her asking you those types of questions ... especially in front of other people. Say, "Ms. _____, I didn't appreciate what you did. I found it very offensive. Please, don't do it again."
When dumb kids come up to you, treat them like the idiots they are. Be frank, then ignore them because dumb people aren't worth your time.

They said that about me
I was told I was anorexic by so many people including docters until they did a test. Turned out I had an over active thyroid which is a hormone in your throat that runs faster and makes you loose weight. You should get it checked out, because it's life threatening.

Talk to me, I'm in the same situtation.
Everyone thinks I am, so I jsut go along with it, sarcastically, and when it starts to get too serious, i take a big piece of cake to school, and eat it in front of all those mean people!

Just ignore them
I am naturally thin and I eat more than any of my friends! My old freinds used to call me anorexic and it really hurt my feelings. But now with my new freinds, I am a lot more confident. I realized that anyone who makes fun of you has a huge problem with themself because if they were happy with their own bodies then they wouldn't be looking at you or anyone else's.

Just Be Yourself
Don't worry about what other people think about you!! They just want to talk about you because they are they aren't confident about themselves. Just be yourself and be who you are 'cause who you are makes you special. I know it's going to take you awhile to realize this. I know because it took me my whole life up until now. Just have a good day and have fun. And remember to BE YOURSELF!!!!!!
